makeup artist

Hi everyone!
Who are you using for a makeup artist? rants? raves? I am looking for someone who travels to houses and running out of time.  THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

RoyalOrient

The most popula MUA on here that get tons of raves and positive reviews are,

Kristen Spencer  - prices on site (very popular so possibly booked), she is also in school for Hair design.
Krystal Treanor - prices on site (also very popular). I had a trial with her and loved her personality, kinda dry but funny. 
Robin McAloon -  I love Robin, she is very sweet and has such a calming personality that she puts me at ease even if I am in a rush! I have used her for events but she is booked on my date plus I didn't want traditional make up. Her prices are in line with Kristen Spencer and Krystal Treanor.
Jennie Kay Murphy - She does both hair and make up.  Met her at a bridal show and thought she was super sweet and friendly.
Jane Sincere - highly regarded MUA
Glen Badessa from Immortal Cosmetics - also popular on these boards, Glen uses his own line of make up.

Also some lesser known but Air Brush Artists

Sara Faella
Jennifer Hodge (SpectrumR.I.com)

- These last two I have a trial with so I don't know too much about them but they had positive reviews and were very reponsive to my e-mails and questions.

Anyone used/using Jennifer Hodge?

I used Skinplicity and LOVED my makeup.  They use Youngblood.  She was very calming the morning of, which I really appreciated.  I couldn't budget for KG/KT/JS/etc.

</div><div>I have a trial with her in early July and with Sara Faella at the end of this month, both for air brush make up. They are super responsive but Sara is more affordable. I'm just not sure if Sara is my style but I LOVE Jen's brides on her site, they are so gorgeous. I like the before/after pics too.

I am using Allison Barbera.  I already had my trial and I lover her work.  She has a website if you want to search for her, and prices are fairly reasonable.

I like Allison Barbera as well.  I brought a photo of a look I wanted and she hit the nail on the head and she is very nice as well.

I used & LOVED Glen Badessa!  He will travel to you.

What are Glen's prices like?

Dicaps55

I don't 100% remember but I believe he charged me $50 for my trial ... $50 for each BM and either $75 or $100 for me day of.  He traveled to us at the NYLO in Warwick & did makeup for me & 5 other girls - he was great to work with!  He kept me relaxed all morning while we were getting ready.  There was a point where I was alone in the suite with him & my hairdresser while everyone was getting dressed & I had a mini breakdown when my dad called to check in on me ... Glen was so sweet & didnt make me feel bad for ruining my makeup before he even finished it  I would HIGHLY recommend him!  

Check out his website - www.immortalcosmetics.com - I'm one of the brides on his referrals page.

Good luck!

oh ok great he's definitely on my 'list'
